Item #: SCP-001
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 is kept within a 7m x 7m x 7m cubical within Site-18 that is to be maintained weekly by assigned Foundation staff for cleanliness. The entrance to the cubical is to be fitted a bolt-lock and the room is to be monitored by CCTV daily for any unusual activity from SCP-001.
Research and testing apparatus are permitted within SCP-001's containment cell with the approval of at least one Level 5 personnel.
Description: SCP-001 is a sarcophagus made of an unknown rock and is approximately 2.2m x 1.5m x 1.62m (rectangular-prism). This stone is darker in color than what would be considered usual for its density and has proven extraordinarily resistant to blunt force and explosive force — showing only minor chipping at ~36,700 PSI. Samples of this stone in which SCP-001-A is composed of have been brought into laboratory conditions and yielded no observable anomalous properties from regular stone aside from it's darker color.
The surface of SCP-001 appears to be embedded with several crystal-like gems at seemingly random positions with a prominent Foundation logo embedded into the center of the top surface. These stones emit a deep red glow when in darkness and take on several shapes and designs resembling Mandarin, Arabic, Cuneiform, and an unknown language (possibly just artistic designs.). However, one symbol is present 7 times across the surface. This specific design in question is strikingly similar to the Mandarin translation of Human (人的) and God (神) with the bottom cross-section between the two words are connected.
Infrared imaging of SCP-001 has revealed a humanoid-shaped entity residing within the sarcophagus (now referred to as SCP-001-1). SCP-001-1's frame is that of a male and is approximately 1.93m tall. It is theorized due to the sarcophagus' constant containment of SCP-001-1, SCP-001 has anomalous properties to suspend one's body of aging or atomic motion. (See SCP-001-C-5). How SCP-001-1 has continued living within SCP-001 without food or water is currently under further study.
Addendum 1 - Communication with SCP-001-1:
As of 10/27/2004 Foundation researcher Samuel K. Halsey reported several murmurs he assumed were from the interior of SCP-001. After approaching SCP-001, Samuel reports he was told: "I will return when I am needed, your eagerness is appreciated."
Further communication has been unsuccessful.
Several other objects were also discovered along with SCP-001. This includes what appears to be [DATA EXPUNGED] (SCP-001-A), four large engraved stone tablets (SCP-001-B 1-5) and a golden-chain necklace with the Foundation logo encrusted on its main piece (SCP-001-C).
SCP-001-A - C are kept within secure Non-Anomalous objects lockers within SCP-001's containment cell. This is for convenient research and accessibility, as the containment cell of SCP-001 is already a secured location.
SCP-001-A
[DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-001-B
SCP-001-B are five stones of rough shape engraved with scripture-like text. They are all approximately 1.43m x 1.56m x 0.6m in size and all weigh approximately 157kg. No anomalous properties have been observed.
Transcriptions of engravings can be found below. Any translation unable to be deciphered is in parenthesis.
SCP-001-B-1:
In the depths of the chaotic darkness embolden in blood, one policeman stood. Shimmering with his stance of unyielding justice, a rage boiled inside of him capable of heating the arctic tundra to mist. Only he and he alone could withstand their tests of might, predict their unfathomably complex nature of abilities and stop their tremendous proliferating power.
SCP-001-B-2:
In his ravenous fight, he knew only to destroy. An absolute ferocity as his weapon stood against the umbilical cord that connected them to his world. He slaughtered, dissipated and eviscerated through and through again, stopping the spawns of the unknown in his own right. Despite their irrational conscience and desert of emotions, they came to name him [DATA EXPUNGED]. And they feared his indestructible motivation to extinguish their kind from the known reality.
SCP-001-B-3:
A great battle bolstered and flattened the forests. The ripping and shredding against the unstoppable and the immovable, [DATA EXPUNGED] had finally been matched by a creature of unending repair. Despite their horrendous violence and rivalry, they understood.
SCP-001-B-4:
For he was the only one who could destroy the terrors of the night and the mysteries of the day, but the only thing to stop him was his inevitable end at the spear of life. He knew he could not stop it, he knew there was no shield, no armor and no weapon that could defend him. The only thing to do was to lengthen the time before it's inevitable puncture into his heart.
SCP-001-B-5:
Inside the cursed sarcophagus that had been retrieved from the (nether, hell?) lay his suspended body. It glows a deep crimson red to contain him, warning all those anomalous to never unleash the terrible justice within. With [DATA REDACTED] lying inside, his following had not the power nor the tenacity to destroy the unknown. They could only do one thing. Secure, Contain; and Protect.

It's goal was officially stated to ascertain more information regarding SCP-001 and relative objects to understand it's origin and (specifically) the anomalous abilities of SCP-001-1.
Interview 1:
Interviewed: SCP-682
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: With the approval of researching project 'Find the Prophet' — designated to research more information on SCP-001 — several other SCP objects have been selected for interview to reveal possible information about SCP-001. SCP-682 had been chosen due to the appearance of several shared characteristics depicted in SCP-001-C-3.
<Begin Log, 02-16-2011>
Dr. █████: Good evening, 682. We are currently undergoing some, uh, changes in your schedule today. We would like your knowledge on a particular subject.
SCP-682: …
An awkward silence is present for 7 seconds, then a growl-like gurgle is emitted from 682.
Dr. █████: Right, so what do you know of and have you ever heard of [DATA EXPUNGED]?
SCP-682 appears to be slightly visibly surprised, but then subsides to a somber state.
SCP-682: .. I miss him.
SCP-682 refused to respond to any more questioning.
